Job Title: Senior Research Analyst - Compliance Intelligence 

Location: Hybrid - London 

Salary: Competitive, based on experience 

Why do we want you?

Are you an expert in financial compliance and regulatory intelligence, ready to take the lead on a brand-new initiative within the financial regulation space?

Wilmington PLC is excited to offer a unique opportunity to be part of a cutting-edge regulatory intelligence service aimed at global financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and highly regulated firms.

Our team tracks and gathers regulatory data from financial bodies worldwide using AI, LLM, and human expertise to deliver insights that help our clients stay compliant in a rapidly changing landscape.

This role is perfect for someone currently in the compliance or regulatory field, perhaps an analyst in a financial institution, or even a journalist with financial sector experience, who is eager to transition into a more product-driven position.

Job purpose, tasks and responsibilities

You’ll play a pivotal role in scoping and developing Wilmington's new financial regulation monitoring platform, helping us grow this high-profile service across the group.

This is a varied role that involves market research, direct customer engagement, and collaboration with technology teams to ensure our platform offers cutting-edge insights.

You will be responsible for:

• Data Source Identification: Research and locate relevant financial regulatory data to enhance the scope of our tracking service.
• Market Analysis: Deliver high-quality written analysis on global financial regulation developments.
• Customer Engagement: Work directly with clients to ensure our product meets their needs and provides valuable insights.
• Technology Collaboration: Assist in refining the AI/LLM tools used for data processing and segmentation, identifying new applications for improved service delivery.
• Team Guidance: Lead our offshore team of market researchers and data scraping experts, ensuring data accuracy and relevance.
• Service Development: Help define new services, reports, and guides that address our clients' needs, such as interpreting regulatory changes and their applications.
• QA & Data Management: Ensure high data quality and accuracy throughout the monitoring process.

What’s the Best Thing About This Role?

You’ll be at the forefront of launching a brand-new offering for the International Compliance Association (ICA), a leading professional body for the global regulatory compliance community.

This is a high-growth area, and you’ll have the opportunity to shape its future, with the potential to manage a team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) as the service expands.

What’s the Most Challenging Thing About This Role?

This role requires a confident self-starter who is not only comfortable taking the lead but also thrives on the responsibility of shaping content that will be utilised by a market-leading brand.

You’ll need to identify and analyse regulatory trends with precision, ensuring they meet the high standards expected by our clients.

Essential and desirable capabilities

What We’re Looking For

 To be successful in this role, you must have:

• Proven expertise in financial compliance and regulatory principles.

• Experience working with reg-tech solutions and knowledge of AI/LLM or RPA technologies for data gathering.
• Strong writing and analytical skills, able to produce concise, accurate summaries.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.
